Answer:

The correct answer is OPTION C (Circumduction)

Explanation:

Circumduction is motions without clear opposites of the part of the body, an example is rotating the hand from the wrist. The answer is circumduction because this type of movement ensures the distal end of a bone moves in a circle while the proximal end remains relatively stable is particularly found in bones where the movements of the joints are opposite to each other example is the ball and socket joint movement. For circumduction to take place, the degree of distance between two bones of the body has to be decreased and sometimes straightened to increase the level of movement or motion produced, there must be a movement towards the middle of the body and sometimes joint movement away from the middle of the body. All these movements are in order.

Serhud [2]

Answer:

Gastro-esophageal reflux disease is a disease in which the upset stomach causes re-flux of acid back to esophagus. This may produce highly uncomfortable feeling of chest burn that may last even for two hours. GERD can get worse after eating because more volume of acids are released by stomach on detection of food like fast food and food that have high protein content. Patients are recommended to lose weight because that loses the pressure on abdomen a decreases the chance of GERD. Head elevation is also recommended to keep the acid within the stomach. It is same in while sitting upright after eating is recommended by doctors. GERD symptoms may have some respiratory complications like lung inflammation and chest congestion due to the action of stomach acid. This may lead to asthama.

He three types of seismic waves produced by an earthquake are primary, secondary, and
Westkost [7]
Seismic waves are waves produced by earthquakes. This occurs when rocks under the earth suddenly break or explode. There are two MAIN TYPES of seismic waves called body waves and surface waves.   <span>Body waves have the capacity to travel through the Earth's inner layers. They have a higher frequency and they are the ones that first occur under water at the onset of an earthquake. They can be subdivided into two types, the primary and secondary waves that arrive at seismic records one after another.

Surface waves can only traverse through the surface of the planet like ripples in the water. These waves can easily be detected on a seismogram result. These waves arrive after body waves and they are the ones mostly responsible for damages and destruction bought by earthquakes.</span>       <span> </span>

Question involving the equations for Hardy Weinberg equilibrium (A^2+2Aa+a^2=1, A+a=1)
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

Frequency of dominant allele is 0.9029

Explanation:

Total number of organisms = 12,845

Number of organisms representing dominant trait = 11,596. These organisms might have heterozygotes with one dominant allele and one recessive allele.

Hence, Number of organisms with recessive alleles = 12845 – 11596 = 1249

Frequency of recessive allele (q) = 1249/12845 = 0.0971

Frequency of dominant allele (p) = 1- q = 1-  0.0971 = 0.9029
